Daisy Zane threw the cell phone to Amelia Miles and looked down at her fingertips, saying, “You think your live stream can be broadcasted?”
“You, you…” Amelia looked at the comments on the screen in disbelief.
The camera was no longer aimed at Daisy Zane, and the comments came back to life.
[Ouch, that scared me. This woman doesn’t look like a good person.]
[Damn! She’s so ugly.]
[Little girl, I advise you to be kind. You can’t beat our boss.]
[Hey girl, please move the screen away from your face, I feel a bit nauseous.]
These people were ridiculing Amelia relentlessly.
Daisy Zane glanced over each of the Miles family members and whispered, “Forget the live streaming; do you think the CCTV cameras in your house still work?”
Everyone in the Miles family stared at Daisy Zane in horror.
Amelia looked at the comments insulting her, then immediately turned off the live stream and threw her cell phone on the ground. She grabbed a handful of hair, irritated and muttered something.
“If I wanted to, I could make sure none of you leave this villa,” Daisy Zane said, looking at the broken cell phone, “and I guarantee that no one would know.”
Allonzo Hobson swallowed nervously. A perfect match, truly a perfect match. Kevin Clark and her together were indeed a perfect match, even in the way they conducted themselves.
None of the Miles family members dared to speak. They never imagined Daisy Zane to be so powerful. They could sense she wasn’t joking, but indeed had such capabilities.
Old Master Miles, despite his age and having seen many things, was frightened by the girl in front of him.
Amelia also stood to one side and kept her head down in submission.
Daisy Zane looked towards Jasmine Anderson and Michael Blackman immediately pulled her in front of her.
“What do you want to do?” Jasmine glared at her and said, “You dare come after ruining my son and husband!”
“Your son and husband did so many disgraceful things, and you blame others for it?!” Allonzo Hobson snapped.
“It’s all because of you. If it weren’t for you, our family would be fine! You’re a disaster star! A jinx.”
As Jasmine cursed, she tried to step forward and hit Daisy but was held back by Michael Blackman.
“Why don’t you go die! How are you still alive!”
Daisy Zane, seemingly deaf to her words, asked Michael Blackman, “Give me her right hand.”
Michael Blackman grabbed her right hand, and although Jasmine instinctively resisted, her strength was nothing compared to his.
Easily, Blackman grabbed her right hand and put it in front of Daisy.
Daisy took hold of her right hand, looking at her slender fingers and well-proportioned nails.
“What do you want to do? What are you going to do?”
Daisy Zane’s appearance now was terrifying, and with Jasmine feeling guilty, her voice trembled.
But Daisy said nothing, holding Jasmine’s hand single-handedly, pressing her thumb on her index finger and applying some force. With two crisp sounds, the knuckles and the second joint of the index finger broke.
“Ah–” Jasmine screamed.
The Miles family shuddered in fear.
Allonzo Hobson frowned slightly. He had seen a lot of this and had forgotten that she used to be Nameless, walking horizontally in D Continent.
Jasmine tried to break free from Daisy’s grip, but it only tightened. And then, without even blinking, Daisy broke her middle finger as well.
The pain of the broken fingers was so intense that Jasmine could no longer scream.
“Daisy Zane, what the hell do you want!” Charles Hobson shouted as he tried to walk forward, but another Michael Blackman suddenly appeared and blocked him.
Johanes Miles also held him back and warned him with a glance.
Charles Hobson cried out while walking, “My brother and Benjamin have been sent in. Can’t you just let my sister-in-law go? What did she do!”
“Your sister-in-law might be trouble,” Allonzo Hobson said sarcastically, “Using your family’s servant’s mobile number to contact others, borrowing high-interest loans, and even trying to kill people.”
“What?!” Charles Hobson couldn’t believe it, “You’re talking nonsense, you…” Johanes Miles covered her mouth, stopping her from speaking.
While they were talking, Daisy Zane had broken all five of her fingers. The slender, jade-like fingers were now hanging limp and weak, swelling at the joints.
Jasmine Anderson couldn’t scream, she could only open her mouth and breathe rapidly. She was drenched in sweat, with droplets falling from her forehead.
Her hair was stuck to her face, looking extremely disheveled. But her eyes remained fixed on Daisy Zane, growing more sinister, “You bring so many people, break into someone’s home, and beat them. I’ll sue you.”
“As you wish.” Daisy Zane let go of her hand and said, “That’s it for this hand.
Now let’s settle our account.”
Xavier Dominic raised his eyebrows and thought he should record this to show Kevin Clark later and make him happy.
“What account do we have between us?” Jasmine’s hand hung limply, and the pain caused her facial muscles to twitch. She spoke weakly, “If anything, I should be the one to settle accounts with you.”
“You wanted to spend money to hire someone to kill me?” Daisy Zane looked into her eyes.
Jasmine laughed softly and said, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Daisy Zane also chuckled lightly, “It’s okay if you don’t understand. Let’s talk about something you can.”
Jasmine gasped for breath, not saying anything. But her expression seemed to say, let’s see what you have to say.
“Benjamin Hobson…” As soon as Daisy Zane mentioned the name, Jasmine’s expression changed immediately.
“What are you doing? What else do you want to do?”
“It’s not about what I want to do,” Daisy Zane replied, “It depends on what you do.”
“What do you mean?”
“Have you heard about the treatment someone like Benjamin Hobson receives in prison?” Daisy Zane stared into her eyes, as if she could see straight into her fear, “He would be treated the same way he treated others. Even worse, he would be treated like an animal.”
Jasmine’s expression suddenly froze, and her body gradually began to tremble.
The Miles family’s faces weren’t good either. They remained silent, and even their breathing seemed to grow lighter.
It was one thing to know about it, but hearing it from someone else was different.
Especially after hearing it, they felt as if it was already happening to Benjamin Hobson. They used to console themselves by thinking about the best-case scenario.
But after hearing this, their inner defenses crumbled.
Even Xavier Dominic felt chills running down his spine as he listened to her talk.
“Do you need me to share some examples?”
“Ah—” Jasmine suddenly screamed and struggled. “I won’t listen! I won’t listen! Don’t say it! Don’t say it! It won’t happen! It won’t happen! You’re lying! You’re lying.’
“You know in your heart if I’m lying to you or not.”
“It won’t happen, it won’t happen, it won’t happen…” Jasmine was just showing a defiant expression, but now she suddenly burst into tears and mumbled, “It won’t happen…”
“Maybe I can make him suffer less.” Daisy Zane said, “Death is inevitable, but perhaps he can endure less suffering while alive.”
Jasmine looked at her, her eyes reignited like ashes, “What did you say?”
“It depends on what you do.” Daisy Zane replied, “Tell the truth, explain what you did and how you did it to the police. Otherwise, I’ll make your son’s life even worse.”
Jasmine stared at her for a while and then asked, “Are you telling the truth?
Really? Will you do as you say?”
Daisy Zane leaned in slightly, looking at her and whispered, “You have no choice but to trust me. Do you want to see your son’s suffering every time you have a nightmare? Do you want to hear him say it was because of your evasion that he had to endure all that?”
Xavier Dominic looked at her, his body gradually covered in goosebumps. It wasn’t scary for someone to be able to fight; if there were more people, they could always take care of them. The scariest part was, while this person could fight, she was also calculating and manipulative.
Daisy Zane’s tone had remained even since she entered, and even her speaking pace was slow. Except for being colder and more ruthless than usual, there was nothing strange.
But every sentence she uttered stirred fear. Every word touched the softest part of one’s heart.
“I don’t want to, I don’t.” Jasmine seemed to go insane, “It was me, it was me who bought her mobile number from the servant. It was also me who secretly used her ID to take out a loan. And it was me who contacted people abroad to kill you and silence you. I admit it, I admit it all.”
“Sister-in-law! What are you talking about!” Charles Hobson cried.
“It’s me, it’s all me.” Jasmine stared wide-eyed, struggling to get closer to Daisy Zane, “Keep your word, keep your word.”
Daisy Zane stood up straight, not looking at her anymore, “You go and confess, and I will naturally do my part.”
